1. 1度假的人、度假客(美式用法;英式說 holidaymaker)

    A vacationer is someone who has travelled somewhere to spend a holiday. The word is American.

    A vacationer指的是someone某個人who has travelled somewhere去某個地方旅行to spend a holiday去度假的人。The word這個字is American是美式用語。

    In American English vacation is the ordinary word for a holiday away from work, so vacationer is the natural word for the person taking one. British speakers say holidaymaker instead, and would find vacationer odd.

    In American English在美式英語裡,vacation vacation是普通的字the ordinary word for a holiday away from work指離開工作去度假,so所以vacationer是自然而然的字is the natural word for the person taking one指去度假的那個人。British speakers英式講法say會說holidaymaker holidaymaker instead,and而且would find會覺得vacationer vacationer odd很怪。

    You most often meet it in the plural and at a distance — a news report, a sign, a tourist office describing crowds: "vacationers filled the beaches", "summer vacationers". It is a neutral, slightly formal, outside-looking word. People do not usually call themselves one; you would say "I'm on vacation", not "I am a vacationer".

    You你most often meet it最常遇到它in the plural用複數形and at a distance,而且是有點距離感地出現——a news report新聞報導、a sign告示牌、a tourist office describing crowds觀光局在講人潮的時候:"vacationers filled the beaches"「度假客擠滿了海灘」、"summer vacationers"「夏季度假客」。It它is a neutral是個中性、slightly formal有點正式的、outside-looking word帶點旁觀視角的字。People人們do not usually call themselves one通常不會自稱是這個,you你會說would say"I'm on vacation"「我在度假」,not不是"I am a vacationer"「我是個vacationer」。

    Notice how it differs from nearby words. A tourist is someone visiting a place to see it, and can be a bit negative — tourists get in the way. A suggests someone moving around, maybe for a long time. A vacationer is simply a person in their time off, which is why it fits sentences about crowds, traffic, and hotel bookings.

    Notice留意一下how it differs它跟附近的字有什麼不同from nearby words。A tourist tourist是someone去一個地方看看的人visiting a place to see it,and而且can be a bit negative可能帶點負面——tourists觀光客get in the way會擋路。A traveller traveller暗示的是suggests someone moving around一個人到處移動,maybe或許for a long time待很久。A vacationer vacationer就只是simply a person一個在休假的人in their time off,which這就是why為什麼it fits適合用在sentences about crowds人潮、traffic交通,and和hotel bookings訂房這類句子裡。
